NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The interim condensed financial statements included herein, presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein.  It is suggested that these interim condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2017 and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.  The Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports.

Results of operations for the interim periods are not indicative of annual results.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers cash and cash equivalents to include all stable, highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue recognition

We have analyzed our revenue transactions pursuant to ASU 2014-09, Revenue, and there was no material impact due to the transition from ASC 605 to ASU 2014-09. Our revenues are recognized when control of the promised services is transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those services. In discussion with management, we apply the following five steps to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as we fulfill our obligations under each of our agreements:

a)

identify the contract with a customer;

b)

identify the performance obligations in the contract;

c)

determine the transaction price;

d)

allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and

e)

recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.

Accounts receivable, net

Accounts receivable is reported at the customers’ outstanding balances, less any allowance for doubtful accounts.  An allowance for doubtful accounts on accounts receivable is charged to operations in amounts sufficient to maintain the allowance for uncollectible accounts at a level management believes is adequate to cover any probable losses.  Management determines the adequacy of the allowance based on historical write-off percentages and information collected from individual customers.  Accounts receivable are charged off against the allowance when collectability is determined to be permanently impaired.  Interest is not accrued on overdue accounts receivable.

7

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Major renewals and improvements are charged to the asset accounts while replacements, maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are expensed.  At the time property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the asset and related accumulated depreciation accounts are relieved of the applicable amounts.  Gains or losses from retirements or sales are credited or charged to income.

Depreciation is computed on the straight-line and accelerated methods for financial reporting purposes based upon the following estimated useful lives:

Computer software	10 years
Computer hardware	5 years
Office furniture	7 years

Long-lived assets

The Company accounts for its long-lived assets in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360-10-05, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.”  ASC Topic 360-10-05 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate.  The Company assesses recoverability of the carrying value of an asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition.  If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value or disposable value.

Beneficial Conversion Feature

If the conversion features of conventional convertible debt provide for a rate of conversion that is below market value, this feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). We record a BCF as a debt discount pursuant to ASC Topic 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options.” In those circumstances, the convertible debt is recorded net of the discount related to the BCF and we amortize the discount to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.

Debt Discount

The Company determines if a convertible debenture should be accounted for as liability or equity under ASC 480, Liabilities - Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”). ASC 480 applies to certain contracts involving a company’s own equity and requires that issuers classify the following freestanding financial instruments as liabilities. Mandatorily redeemable financial instruments, obligations that require or may require repurchase of the issuer’s equity shares by transferring assets (e.g., written put options and forward purchase contracts), and certain obligations where at inception the monetary value of the obligation is based solely or predominantly on:

-

A fixed monetary amount known at inception, for example, a payable settleable with a variable number of the issuer’s equity shares with an issuance date fair value equal to a fixed dollar amount,

-

Variations in something other than the fair value of the issuer’s equity shares, for example, a financial instrument indexed to the S&P 500 and settleable with a variable number of the issuer’s equity shares, or

-

Variations inversely related to changes in the fair value of the issuer’s equity shares, for example, a written put that could be net share settled.

If the entity determined the instrument meets the guidance under ASC 480 the instrument is accounted for as a liability with a respective debt discount. The Company records debt discounts in connection with raising funds through the issuance of promissory notes (see Notes 9, 10 and 11). These costs are amortized to non-cash interest expense over the life of the debt. If a conversion of the underlying debt occurs, a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed.

8

Valuation of Derivative Instruments

ASC 815-40 requires that embedded derivative instruments be bifurcated and assessed, along with free-standing derivative instruments such as warrants, on their issuance date and in accordance with ASC 815-40-15 to determine whether they should be considered a derivative liability and measured at their fair value for accounting purposes. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the Binomial option pricing formula and present value pricing. At September 30, 2018, we adjusted our derivative liabilities to their fair value, and reflected the changes in fair value in our condensed statements of operations.  

Stock-based compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based payments to employees in accordance with ASC 718, “Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Stock-based payments to employees include grants of stock, grants of stock options and issuance of warrants that are recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values at the date of grant.

We account for stock-based payments to non-employees in accordance with ASC 505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees” (“ASC 505-50”). Stock-based payments to non-employees include grants of stock, grants of stock options and issuances of warrants that are recognized in the statement of operations based on the value of the vested portion of the award over the requisite service period as measured at its then-current fair value as of each financial reporting date. The Company calculates the fair value of option grants and warrant issuances utilizing the Black-Scholes pricing model.  The amount of stock-based compensation recognized during a period is based on the value of the portion of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest.  ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time stock options are granted and warrants are issued to employees and non-employees, and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.  The term “forfeitures” is distinct from “cancellations” or “expirations” and represents only the unvested portion of the surrendered stock option or warrant.

We estimate forfeiture rates for all unvested awards when calculating the expense for the period.  In estimating the forfeiture rate, the Company monitors both stock option and warrant exercises as well as employee termination patterns.  The resulting stock-based compensation expense for both employee and non-employee awards is generally recognized as compensation under ASC Topic 505-50. In accordance with ASC 505-50, the cost of stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the vesting period. The value of the stock-based award is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, whereby compensation cost is the excess of the fair value of the award as determined by the pricing model at the grant date or other measurement date over the amount that must be paid to acquire the stock.

Loss per share

We report earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260-10, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares available. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is the same as loss per share since the effect of the assumed conversion of warrants and debt to purchase common shares would have an anti-dilutive effect. Potential common shares as of September 30, 2018 that have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share amounted to 2,814,439 shares comprised of 1,292,500 options and 1,521,939 warrants. At September 30, 2018, 762,500 of the 1,292,500 potential common shares that could be issued upon the exercise of the options had vested, and all 1,521,939 common shares that could be issued upon the exercise of the warrants had vested.

Income taxes

We account for income taxes under the provisions of “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”).  The method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740 is an asset and liability method. The asset and liability method requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between tax bases and financial reporting bases of other assets and liabilities.  The Company did not recognize any deferred tax liabilities or assets at December 31, 2017 or during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 or September 30, 2017.

9

Fair value of financial instruments

We account for non-recurring fair value measurements of our non-financial assets and liabilities in accordance with ASC 820-10 Fair Value Measurement. This guidance defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and addresses required disclosures about fair value measurements. This standard establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the significant inputs used to determine fair value. Observable inputs are those which are obtained from market participants external to the Company while unobservable inputs are generally developed internally, utilizing management’s estimates, assumptions and specific knowledge of the assets/liabilities and related markets. The three levels are defined as follows:

·

Level 1 - Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

·

Level 2 - Valuation is determined from quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, or by model-based techniques in which all significant inputs are observable in the market.

·

Level 3 - Valuation is derived from model-based techniques in which at least one significant input is unobservable and based on the company’s own estimates about the assumptions that market participants would use to value the asset or liability.

If the only observable inputs are from inactive markets or for transactions which the Company evaluates as “distressed”, the use of Level 1 inputs should be modified by the Company to properly address these factors, or the reliance of such inputs may be limited, with a greater weight attributed to Level 3 inputs.

Due to the short-term nature of our financial assets and liabilities, we consider their carrying amounts to approximate fair value.

Recent accounting pronouncements

The Company continually assesses any new accounting pronouncements to determine their applicability to the Company. Where it is determined that a new accounting pronouncement affects our financial reporting, we undertake a study to determine the consequence of the change to its financial statements and assures that there are proper controls in place to ascertain that our financials properly reflect the change.

In June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2018-07 Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments granted to nonemployees for goods and services. Under the ASU, most of the guidance on such payments to nonemployees would be aligned with the requirements for share-based payments granted to employees. The amendments in ASU 2018-07 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods therein. We are evaluating the impact adopting this guidance will have on our financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-04 Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”). This guidance removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. Under the amended guidance, a goodwill impairment charge will now be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. This guidance is effective for interim and annual period beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for any impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017.  We are evaluating the impact adopting this guidance will have on our financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-01 Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business (“ASU 2017-01”), which clarifies the definition of a business and assists entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. Under this guidance, when substantially all the fair value of gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single asset (or group of similar assets), the assets acquired would not represent a business. In addition, to be considered a business, an acquisition would have to include at a minimum an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create an output. The amended guidance also narrows the definition of outputs by more closely aligning it with how outputs are described in FASB guidance for revenue recognition. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the impact adopting this guidance will have on our financial statements.

10

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ("ASU 2016-02"), which amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases with lease terms of greater than twelve months on their balance sheets. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for us beginning January 1, 2019. ASU 2016-02 requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. We are evaluating the impact adopting this guidance will have on our financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 requires entities to recognize revenue that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. We adopted ASU 2014-09 on January 1, 2018 using a modified retrospective method.  As of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 the adoption of ASU 2014-09 did not have a material impact on our balance sheet, operations, stockholders' deficit or our statement of cash flows. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.

NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN

The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern.  As shown in the accompanying condensed financial statements, we incurred a net loss of $1,056,766 and $2,401,739 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and at September 30, 2018, the accumulated deficit was $33,734,753.

To continue as a going concern, the Company may need, among other things, additional capital resources. There are no assurances that without generating new revenue during the remainder of 2018 that we will be successful without additional financing. Should revenues not grow sufficiently, and should we be unable to secure additional financing through the sale of our securities or debt, it would be unlikely for us to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of the financial statements.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. These condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might arise from this uncertainty.

NOTE 7 - RESIDUAL CONTRACTS

To raise immediate cash, in 2017, we sold our remaining merchant processing portfolio to a larger merchant processor (the “Purchaser”) at industry standard multiples. We were paid a percentage of the net revenues generated by each merchant. As with any type of portfolio, there is attrition, which can come from (1) the merchant processing fewer dollars in sales, or (2) the merchant closing its business (i.e. going out of business), or (3) the merchant taking its processing business to another ISO/processor. The sales agreement with the Purchaser allows zero attrition.

From July 2017 to January 2018, the average monthly residual was less than half of the valuation of the original guaranteed portfolio monthly residual. Any uncured shortfall of the guaranteed residual may be requested by the Purchaser. The Agreement also stipulated that we board a minimum number of Merchant Accounts per year for two years with the Purchaser. The Purchaser may demand that we pay them a specific amount for the number of unacquired Merchant Accounts below the Minimum Requirement per month. From July 1, 2017 to November 1, 2018 (17 months) Spindle has not boarded any merchants on the Purchaser’s platform, and it is likely that we may not board a merchant in the remaining 7 months. As of December 31, 2017, Management recorded a contingent liability of $171,312 as a potential return for consideration received and $126,000 for not boarding merchants, totaling $297,312.

NOTE 8 - INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET

On April 18, 2017, we entered into an agreement to acquire specific digital marketing software assets from CoverCake, Inc., specifically, CoverCake's intelligent algorithms for data mining and consumer engagement. The transaction closed on May 30, 2017. The purchase price was 300,000 shares of Spindle unregistered common stock valued at $43,500 along with launch and revenue-based payments as certain performance targets were met, and the software was to be amortized over three years. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded amortization expense of $9,793 and $23,340, respectively.

In the Fourth Quarter of 2017, after review of the marketplace and competitor products, and the cost of necessary software development, management did not deem the CoverCake transaction to be economically viable and the CoverCake software and related amortization was fully impaired.

On April 13, 2018, we signed a convertible promissory note (the “Convertible Note”) with Labrys Fund, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Holder”). The principal amount of the Convertible Note is $200,000 and matures on April 13, 2019. The Convertible Note carries an original issue discount of $20,000 and accrues interest at the rate of 10% per annum. The Convertible Note may be prepaid by the Company with various redemption premiums applicable depending on when the Company prepays the principal balance. The Convertible Note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of 35% discount to the lowest trading price during the previous twenty trading days to the date of a notice of conversion. The Convertible Note is convertible, at the Holder’s election, only after 180 days after issuance.  The debt discount and derivative liability recorded at issuance were $200,000 and $448,165, respectively. The Convertible Note discount is amortized to interest expense over the term of the note and at September 30, 2018 had an unamortized balance of $106,849. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, interest expense of $5,041 and $9,315 was recorded, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, interest expense related to amortization of the discount on the unpaid note of $50,411 and $93,151 was recorded, respectively.

On January 30, 2018, we signed a convertible promissory note (“Convertible Note”) with a third party (“Holder”). The Convertible Note is subordinate to the convertible note owed to Michael Kelly which the Company filed with its Current Report on Form 8-K on February 1, 2018 and amended on February 6, 2018. The principal amount of the Convertible Note is $152,000 and matures on January 30, 2019. The Convertible Note bears an annual interest rate of 10% per annum.  Upon an event of default, the interest rate shall increase to 18% for as long as the event of default is continuing (“Default Interest”). The Convertible Note may be converted, at the Holder’s discretion, into the Company’s common stock at any time after 180 days at a 35% discount to the lowest trading price during the previous 20 trading days to the date of a conversion notice. Until the 90th day after the Issuance Date, the Company may pay the principal at a cash redemption premium of 120%, in addition to outstanding interest, without the Holder’s consent; from the 91st day to the 120th day after the Issuance Date, the Company may pay the principal at a cash redemption premium of 125%, in addition to outstanding interest, without the Holder’s consent; from the 121st day to the Prepayment Date, the Company may pay the principal at a cash redemption premium of 130%, in addition to outstanding interest, without the Holder’s consent. After the 180th up to the Maturity Date this Note shall have a cash redemption premium of 135% of the then outstanding principal amount of the Note, plus accrued interest and Default Interest, if any, which may only be paid by the Company upon Holder’s prior written consent. At any time on or after the Maturity Date, the Company may repay the then outstanding principal plus accrued interest and Default Interest, if any, to the Holder and may be converted to stock under certain circumstances. The total value of the Convertible Note balance, if converted to stock at September 30, 2018, would be $254,224. The debt discount and derivative liability recorded at issuance were $152,000 and $174,234, respectively. The Convertible Note discount is amortized to interest expense over the term of the note and at September 30, 2018 has an unamortized balance of $38,274. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, interest expense of $3,322 and $9,610, and interest expense related to amortization of the discount on the unpaid note of $51,261 and $113,726 were recorded, respectively.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the holder of the note converted $50,000 of debt to 3,032,329 shares of the Company’s common stock.

These Bridge Notes were rolled into a new Bridge Note (the “New Note”) with a total of $55,000, maturing September 15, 2018. The New Note was secured by a copy of the Company’s Payment Service Provider (“PSP”) software code, and convertible to shares of the Company’s restricted stock at a price of $0.08 per share. The discounts attributable to the two Bridge Notes rolled into the New Note totaled $8,188 which was expensed as interest at the date of the New Note. There was no discount attributable to the New Note, as the conversion price of $0.08 was the same as the share price on the date the New Note was issued. The New Note was converted into 687,500 shares of Spindle common stock in April 2018.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we entered into three Bridge Note Agreements totaling $46,000 with one of our investors.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, interest expense of $2,488 and $7,440 and interest expense related to amortization of the discount on the unpaid notes of $0 and $44,974 was recorded, respectively.

The Company issued a convertible promissory note in January 2018 and a convertible promissory note to a related party in 2017. The convertible notes require us to record the value of the conversion features as liabilities, at fair value, pursuant to ASC 815, including provisions in the notes that protect the holder from declines in our stock price, which is considered outside the control of the Company. The derivative liabilities are marked-to-market each reporting period and changes in fair value are recorded as a non-operating gain or loss in our statement of operations, until they are completely settled. The fair value of the conversion features is determined each reporting period using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and is affected by changes in inputs to that model including our stock price, expected stock price volatility, interest rates and expected term. The assumptions used in valuing the derivative liabilities at September 30, 2018 were as follows:

	September 30, 2018	December 31, 2017
Significant assumptions (weighted-average):
Risk-free interest rate at grant date	2.59%	1.41% - 1.76%

NOTE 14 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 12, 2018, the Company filed a Certificate of Change to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State increasing the Company’s number of authorized shares from 300,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 to 600,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 effective the date of filing.  On November 16, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a resolution to increase the number of authorized shares from 600,000,000 to 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001.

On October 16, 2018 (the “Issuance Date”), the Company closed a convertible promissory note (the “Convertible Note”) with Power Up Lending Group LTD (“Holder”).

Until the 30th day after the Issuance Date, the Company may pay the principal at a cash redemption premium of 110%, in addition to outstanding interest, without the Holder’s consent; from the 31st day to the 60th day after the Issuance Date, the Company may pay the principal at a cash redemption premium of 115%, in addition to outstanding interest, without the Holder’s consent; from the 61st day after the Issuance Date to the 90th day, the Company may pay the principal at a cash redemption premium of 120%, in addition to outstanding interest, without the Holder’s consent; from the 91st day after the Issuance Date to the 120th day, the Company may pay the principal at a cash redemption premium of 125%, in addition to outstanding interest, without the Holder’s consent; from the 121st day after the Issuance Date to the 150th day, the Company may pay the principal at a cash redemption premium of 130%, in addition to outstanding interest, without the Holder’s consent; from the 151st day after the Issuance Date to the 180th day, the Company may pay the principal at a cash redemption premium of 135%, in addition to outstanding interest, without the Holder’s consent. After the expiration of 180 days following the Issuance Date, the Company shall have no right of repayment. At any time on or after the Maturity Date, the Company may repay the then outstanding principal plus accrued interest and Default Interest, if any, to the Holder.

Between October 16 and November 12, 2018, a Holder of one of the Company’s convertible notes elected to convert a total of $63,857 in Company debt, fees and interest due to shares of Spindle common stock.  Per the terms of the note, the conversion prices were calculated to between $.00325 and $.0078 per share, resulting in a total issuance of 15,866,882 shares to the Holder.

19

On October 1, 2018, a Holder of one of the Company’s convertible notes elected to convert $30,000 in Company debt to shares of Spindle common stock.  Per the terms of the note, the conversion price was calculated to be $.0078 per share, resulting in the issuance of 3,846,153 shares to the Holder.   On November 5, 2018, the same Holder elected to convert $17,664 in Company debt to shares of Spindle common stock.  Per the terms of the note, the conversion price was calculated to be $.003575 per share, resulting in the issuance of 4,940,992 shares to the Holder

NOTE 16 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

On June 4, 2018, the “Company received service of a complaint in a lawsuit captioned Michael Kelly and iOT Broadband, LLC vs. Jack Scott and Spindle, Inc., No. DC-18-06656 (Dist. Ct. Dallas County, TX). The complaint purports to assert a claim of breach of contract against Spindle, claims of fraud against Jack Scott, the Interim CEO of the Company, and a claim of breach of fiduciary duty against both Dr. Scott and the Company in connection with an Amended and Restated Senior Unsecured Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) owned by Mr. Kelly who purports to have assigned his interest and rights in the note to iOT.

The Company believes that it will successfully defend against the actions described above, and it intends to pursue counterclaims against the plaintiffs which may, if successful, result in an award of damages in favor of the Company.  However, the Company does anticipate that it will incur significant additional legal expenses as it pursues a vigorous defense against each of these actions.  The parties to the lawsuit are currently in the discovery process.  While the Company believes that it will successfully defend against these actions, no assurances can be given as to: (i) the outcome of these or legal proceedings and (ii) the related impact of an unanticipated adverse outcome of these proceedings on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or near-term liquidity.

Overview

During the Third Quarter of 2018, Spindle refocused its business on providing marketing services and customers to large payment processors.  The Company is currently building the partnerships and infrastructure to allow it to derive residual revenues from large payment processors by monetizing Spindle’s existing pipeline of merchants, monetizing the pipeline of merchants found within Spindle’s strategic partners, and monetizing merchants identified through Spindle’s distributed referral application, which is currently under construction.

Historically, Spindle provided payment processing services to merchants using its Catalyst Spindle provides payment processing services to merchants using its Catalyst Gateway, and acts as an agent, independent contractor or referral partner to broker merchants that it secures to other merchant processors in exchange for recurring fees based on processing volume. Spindle has historically focused on serving Small to Medium-sized Businesses (SMBs). Spindle’s Catalyst Gateway currently is compliant with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (“PCI compliant”).  However, WorldPay, licensor of our Catalyst Gateway, will no longer provide platform updates as it transitions to more current gateway platforms.  While Spindle’s Catalyst Gateway is still in use and currently has several merchants on the platform, we also plan to board future merchants on third-party platforms as described below.

During 2017, Spindle shifted its activities from serving SMBs in the payment processing arena to developing marketing tools which integrate with payment processing in order to create a unified commerce experience for merchants. Spindle’s marketing development efforts occurred under the “Catalyst” brand.

Spindle’s plan was to attract, market to, and retain its customers through the expansion of the Catalyst platform, as well as process payments for goods and services sold through it. The marketing development initiatives included Catalyst Team Sports, Sports Payment Pros, and the Catalyst Marketing System.

21

While significant progress was made on these projects, due to a lack of funding, we were unable to deliver completed, commercially viable products. Delays in the execution of project timelines led to delays in sales and ultimately resulted in cash constraints whereby costs had to be reduced, and the projects were shelved early in the Fourth Quarter of 2017. There is currently no business activity on any of the projects.  However, Spindle retains the infrastructure powering each project, and can reactivate any or all of the projects at a time when they complement Spindle’s updated strategic plans.

Spindle diverted its resources in the Fourth Quarter of 2017 to developing a merchant pipeline, exclusively for payment processing services. Through the Second Quarter of 2018, we were not able to generate significant sales from our merchant processing efforts.

In September 2017, Spindle was introduced to VyaPay, a privately held, profitable, payment processing company desiring to become part of an existing public company in the payment processing space. On October 2, 2017, we signed a binding term sheet to acquire VyaPay. On December 31, 2017, the term sheet was extended until March 31, 2018, and on March 31, 2018, it was subsequently extended to April 6, 2018. On April 6, 2018, we signed an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”) with VyaPay, which was stated to close on May 15, 2018.  

On May 16, 2018, Spindle and VyaPay signed a non-binding Letter of Intent to enter into a strategic alliance between the companies, which the companies had expected to sign in the Third Quarter 2018, and now expects to sign in the Fourth Quarter 2018.  The transaction would supplant the previously planned acquisition of VyaPay yielding many of the anticipated benefits and synergies, absent significant new share issuance which would have resulted in material dilution to current shareholders.  Benefits of the alliance are expected to include but are not limited to:

·

Use of VyaPay Gateway assuring seamless integration for Spindle derived business

·

Enables VyaPay to run business through Spindle that it couldn't otherwise do as a private company while Spindle participates in revenue/profit share

·

Joint marketing and revenue sharing of a sophisticated banking platform currently under joint development. Platform expected to possess broad licensing opportunities along with generating merchant processing fees

·

Provides for consulting services with VyaPay CEO, Wain Swapp, in numerous areas of business development

·

Spindle preserves right of first option for potential later ability to acquire VyaPay

During Second Quarter 2018, management recognized that Spindle personnel hold expertise in several marketable areas, including chargeback mitigation/management and client onboarding.  Beginning in June 2018 we began packaging those skills as a “consulting” package available to other Independent Sales Organizations and merchant processors.   We made our first sale of the consulting package during June 2018, in the amount of $11,400.

In early Third Quarter 2018, Spindle made significant progress toward reconstituting the Company and refocusing its operations, most notably with the onboarding of new personnel. Mr. Wesser, who was previously appointed a Director of the Company, was appointed President on August 2, 2018.  Mr. Wesser brings broad experience directly applicable to Spindle’s operations, including previous M&A and compliance experience as a corporate attorney and business experience leading the growth of a large, membership-driven organization which was built on a recurring revenue model and dependent upon efficient merchant processing.  Management believes Mr. Wesser’s experience growing a large organization and managing the client-side of a large merchant processing operation is beneficial to Spindle’s future growth.  Also, on August 2, 2018, the Company appointed Mr. Horowitz as a Director.  Mr. Horowitz has deep personal and business relationships in the private equity, investment banking, retail, sports and hospitality/entertainment industries.  Mr. Horowitz brings high-level experience in business development within those industries and a warm pipeline of prospective merchant processing clients ranging from large ($1B+) enterprises to a broad array of SMBs.  Additionally, on August 9, 2018, Spindle appointed Walter Gueler to its Advisory Board.  Mr. Gueler is an experienced fintech executive who is a previous winner of the Intel Global Challenge (Latin America) and has successfully helped to build the technology and digital marketing platforms underlying a number of SMBs.  Management believes Mr. Gueler will be an asset to the Company’s technological and marketing growth, as well as its ability to expand its operations to Spanish-language markets.

22

During the Third Quarter of 2018, Spindle held a three-day strategic planning meeting at Spindle’s headquarters, including each member of Management, the CEO and CTO of VyaPay, and ownership from other strategic partners. As a result of the information developed during that meeting, Management is focusing its short and mid-range strategic plan on near-term revenue growth through capturing market share in Spindle’s core business of merchant processing services. In addition to the strategic elements described above with our strategic VyaPay relationship, Management’s plan currently includes the following elements:

·

Qualify Spindle as ISO - Management has identified Spindle’s qualification as an Independent Sales Organization, or ISO, as a key strategic goal.  During the Third Quarter, Spindle provisionally qualified with one of the world’s largest merchant processors and acquirers with the ability to support payments in over 30 countries.  However, in order to more quickly gain marketing and support materials, as well as to delay the initial ISO expense, Management has held off on full qualification until at least the First Quarter of 2019.  Once it is prepared to do so, operating as an ISO will provide Spindle with multiple advantages, including:

o

Access to the payments industry’s most up-to-date gateways, which provides better service to Spindle’s customers and a marketing advantage to Spindle over similarly-sized competitors

o

Spindle’s “ownership” or ongoing control over its customers’ data going forward, which helps to secure Spindle’s receipt of recurring revenues from those customers’ merchant processing, thereby both securing revenue and adding value to Spindle’s business portfolio

o

Higher margins on merchant processing business versus simply referring business to other ISOs, because the ISO is able to capture a number of per-transaction fees that a referrer does not receive

·

Sales Agent Partnership:  In order to expedite Spindle’s re-entry into the market, Management identified the need for certain marketing infrastructure, including online and digital marketing properties, digital intake / landing forms and the like.  During the Third Quarter, Spindle entered into a strategic partnership with Newtek (Nasdaq: NEWT), a large, publicly-traded ISO of several payment processors.  Mr. Wesser previously had a long professional relationship as one of Newtek’s largest customers, and Management believes the Newtek relationship will provide Spindle with multiple advantages, including:

o

Access to Newtek’s marketing materials, which are white-labeled with Spindle branding

o

Access to sell all of Newtek’s products, which comprise a full suite of small to midsize business services, including merchant/payment services, insurance products, business financing, payroll and benefits solutions, web solutions, and technology/technology management solutions

o

Diversity of processors, as Newtek supports several world-class processors which accept merchants from diverse industries, risk levels, etc., which allows Spindle to find a “home” for each of its leads, which it may not be able to do working with only one processor as an ISO

o

During the Third Quarter, Management worked with Newtek to acquire and begin the process of white-labeling Newtek’s marketing and digital materials.  Management expects, in mid to late Fourth Quarter, to be able to launch a full business services website which will reflect the Company’s ability to deliver all services Newtek provides, but with Spindle branding.  This will allow Spindle to leapfrog development time and expense necessary to build such a suite of services on its own.  Management believes this suite of services, along with accompanying marketing materials and web properties, will allow the Company to better approach, sell and close its existing pipeline described below.

23

·

Leverage New Pipeline - Management has identified a warm pipeline of new leads that it has segmented into “merchant” and “portfolio” clients:

o

Merchant clients are merchants with whom Spindle’s personnel have close personal and business relationships.  As described above, these merchants range from SMBs to very large enterprises which process $1B or more per year.  Management is currently in the process of classifying these leads into matching verticals and developing marketing and support materials for each vertical.  We began meaningful conversations with several of these leads during the Third Quarter and began collecting intelligence regarding their needs and the timing of potential sales to them. These conversations were drivers of our decision to partner with Newtek and offer a broader suite of services than simply payment processing.

o

Portfolio clients are companies such as private equity firms, holding companies, law firms and investment banks with who Spindle’s personnel have close personal and business relationships and which either control or advise portfolios of merchants.  Management plans to leverage those relationships to gain access to the portfolios of merchants as a “recommended partner” of the controlling / advising entity.  During the Third Quarter, Management had discussions with those relationships to gain intelligence on their requirements to become such a “recommended partner,” and is in the process of building the internal processes, etc., necessary to allow Spindle to compete for that work.

·

Build Distributed Marketing / Referral Approach - Management has begun to build the framework to build a distributed marketing platform whereby it incentivizes large groups of third-parties to recommend/refer Spindle as merchant processing provider.  For example, Spindle is currently working with a large association of commercial product and service providers, providing training materials so the individual members of the association can, in an informed manner, refer their commercial clients to Spindle for merchant processing services.  Management believes that the distributed referral approach has not been successfully implemented elsewhere in the industry, but that Spindle may have the ability to do so via its new digital marketing and app-building capabilities.

·

Sale of Consulting Services - As described above, Management has identified specific, marketable services within its existing personnel in terms of merchant processing onboarding and chargeback support and has begun to sell those services to other small merchant processing service providers.  Management believes that its new personnel bring additional experience that may be packaged as a service that is attractive to both small merchant processing providers as well as merchants of all sizes.  That experience includes building infrastructure for growth, digital marketing/lead generation, chargeback prevention and mitigation and process improvements.  Management is currently building a series of decks that may be used to market those services in an effort to build Spindle’s consulting services sales segment.

·

Organic Growth Based on Revenue - Management recognizes that Spindle has, at times, previously floated the Company’s operations through convertible debt and the sale of the Company’s securities.  While these methods have been necessary to the Company’s survival, Management understands that they are not an optimal form of go-forward financing.  Based upon Spindle’s extensive cost-cutting over the past several quarters and its current cost run-rates, Management believes that if it is able to begin to capture business from its new pipeline described above it will be able to begin to grow the Company organically and operate it based upon new revenue as opposed to convertible debt.  Management further believes that if it can do so, new opportunities for growth through more advantageous and less onerous forms of financing will open.

24

·

Market Expansion - Management believes that if it can begin to generate revenue based upon its new pipeline it is well-positioned to expand the markets it serves.  For example, as noted above, Management is in the process of identifying and creating marketing/support materials for specific verticals within its “warm” pipeline.  Management believes that as it acquires data from the outreach within that pipeline it will be able to identify better approaches to new verticals not currently within its pipeline.  Additionally, Management believes that with its new personnel - and if it is successful in gaining its ISO registration - it will be positioned to expand to Spanish-language markets which are currently underserved by smaller, nimble ISOs but which present a significant opportunity for growth because of pricing flexibility and customer service that, as an ISO, Spindle expects to be able to provide.

Because our operating expenses exceed our revenues, we have relied primarily on sales of our securities and loans from related parties to fund our operations. We will continue to require funds to support our operations and carry out our business plan, especially in the short-term. Our working capital requirements and the cash flow provided by future operating activities, if any, will vary greatly from quarter to quarter, depending on the volume of business during the period and payment terms with our partners. We may not be successful in raising additional funds as needed or if successful we may not be able to raise funds on terms that are favorable to us. We cannot guarantee that we will ever be profitable. As a result, our independent registered accounting firm has expressed doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Results of Operations

Revenues and Cost of Sales

Revenues from ongoing operations are derived from our payment processing services under the Catalyst Gateway and more recently as a sales agent for other payment processing service providers.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we generated $2,252 and $7,562 in revenues, respectively, and incurred $583 and $2,904 in cost of sales, respectively, which produced gross profits of $1,669 and $4,658, respectively.  This compares to revenues during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 of $48,469 and $119,733, respectively, and cost of sales of $7,099 and $44,577, respectively, which produced gross profits of $41,370 and $75,156, respectively.   

Operating Expenses

In the course of our operations, we incur operating expenses composed largely of general and administrative costs and professional fees.  General and administrative expenses are essentially the cost of doing business, and encompass, without limitation, the following: research and development; licenses; taxes; general office expenses, such as postage, supplies and printing; rent; utilities; bank charges; website costs; and other miscellaneous expenditures not otherwise classified.  Accounting fees include: auditing by our independent registered public accountants, bookkeeping, tax preparation fees for filing Federal and State income tax returns and other accounting-specific consulting services.  Professional fees include: transfer agent fees for printing stock certificates; consulting costs for marketing and advertising; general business development; legal fees; and costs related to the preparation and submission of reports and information statements with the SEC.  

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we incurred operating expenses in the amount of $279,102 and $1,181,319, respectively, as compared to $617,645 and $1,666,629 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. This decrease in operating expenses is mainly due to significantly lower payroll costs due to reductions in force, along with lower legal bills due to the settlement of a lawsuit in 2017, offset by a 2018 increase in consulting fees due to the issuance of 3,000,000 shares of common stock with a value of $240,000 to a third-party consultant for services, and legal bills related to the current litigation between Michael Kelly/iOT Broadband and Spindle.  The 2018 decrease in depreciation and amortization is due to the 2017 impairment of long-lived assets which had a zero balance at December 31, 2017.

25

Other Income and Expense

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recognized $11,400 and $23,362 as other income, respectively, which is related primarily to the Company’s consulting line of business.  

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized a loss on sale of assets of $0 and $195,244, respectively.  The amount is comprised of a $172,461 loss related to the sale of rights to future revenue streams of income from several licensed patents, a $31,900 loss regarding the sale of assets related to the Yowza!! brand, and a $883 loss from a prior year sale.  These losses were offset by the collection of an additional $10,000 related to the C & H transaction in December of 2016.  

During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized a $8,250 gain on the cancellation of the Company’s shares of common stock due to the cancellation of a consulting agreement.  The shares were returned to the Company and the unamortized portion of the agreement’s value was recognized as gain. During the same periods for 2018, the gain on cancellation of shares was zero.

On February 14, 2017, we sold our rights to future streams of income from several licensed patents to two buyers for a total of $150,000.  We also sold 1.5 million shares of common restricted stock in the same agreements.  We had assigned zero value to the future streams and consequently recorded a loss on sale of $150,000. On March 3, 2017, we also sold all the assets and rights associated to the Yowza!! brand.  We received $25,000 in cash but also granted 250,000 shares of restricted stock and 50,000 warrants exercisable at $0.135.  The loss associated with this sale of assets was $31,900.  During the three months ended June 30, 2017, we wrote off approximately $24,000 of an uncollectible receivable balance related to the February sale of the future income stream and collected an additional $10,000 related to the C& H transaction in December of 2016.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 the loss on sale of assets was zero.

Interest Income and Expense

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recognized interest expense of $100,743 and $591,486, respectively. This compares to $24,403 and $136,370 of interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.  The 2018 increase is mainly due to the recognition of additional interest expense related to the beneficial conversion feature of new convertible debt recorded in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recognized interest expense - related parties of $66,082 and $199,927, respectively. This compares to $5,603 and $118,056 of interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.  In 2017, a note was converted on the same day as issuance, resulting in the immediate recognition of the related $100,000 beneficial conversion feature.  In 2018, an additional $270,400 was recognized as interest expense from the beneficial conversion feature of new convertible debt recorded in the Fourth Quarter of 2017.

Net Losses

We have experienced net losses in all periods since our inception.  Our net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $1,056,766 and $2,401,739, respectively.  Net losses are attributable low revenue and increases in interest expenses, along with higher consulting fees.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we incurred a net loss of $359,315 and $1,794,144, respectively, which was mainly attributable to the lower revenues in 2017 as described above and in the increase in interest expense.  We anticipate incurring ongoing operating losses and cannot predict when, if at all, we may expect these losses to narrow or cease.

26

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $704,097 compared to $814,361 of cash used in operations during the comparable period ended September 30, 2017.  

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, net cash provided by investing activities was $0.  During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, net cash provided by investing activities totaled $278,715 which was received from the sale of a major portion of the Company’s residual portfolio and intangible assets related to the Yowza!! platform.   

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, net cash provided by financing activities totaled $695,106, comprised of $230,000 received from investors for purchases of our common stock and $503,000 in proceeds from advances to and notes payable issued by the Company, offset by $37,894 in repayments of advances and notes payable.  In comparison, during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, net cash provided by financing activities totaled $549,610, comprised of $172,610 received from investors for purchases of our common stock and $419,500 in proceeds from advances to and notes payable and notes payable - related party issued by the Company, offset by $42,500 in repayments of advances and notes.

As of September 30, 2018, we had $2,762 of cash on hand, none of which is restricted.  Our management does not believe this amount is sufficient to maintain our operations for at least the next 12 months.  We are actively pursuing opportunities to raise additional capital through sales of our equity and/or debt securities for cash.  We cannot assure you that, if needed, financing can be obtained or, if obtained, that it will be on reasonable terms.  As such, our principal accountants have expressed doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern because our revenues do not cover our cash expenditures.   

This report discusses our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.  The preparation of the financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, recoverability of intangible assets, and contingencies and litigation.  We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not clear from other sources.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.  The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements include estimates as to the appropriate carrying value of certain assets and liabilities which are not clear from other sources, primarily the valuation of intangible assets.  The methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying these most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in our financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

Certain accounting policies and estimates are particularly important to the understanding of our financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by our management or can be materially affected by changes from period to period in economic factors or conditions that are outside of our control.  As a result, they are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty.  In applying these policies, our management uses their judgment to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in the determination of certain estimates. Those estimates are based on our historical operations, our future business plans and projected financial results, the terms of existing contracts, our observance of trends in the industry, information provided by our customers and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. Please see Note 2 to our financial statements for a more complete description of our significant accounting policies.

Revenue recognition

We have analyzed our revenue transactions pursuant to ASU 2014-09, Revenue, and there was no material impact due to the transition from ASC 605 to ASU 2014-09. Our revenues are recognized when control of the promised services is transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those services. In discussion with management, we apply the following five steps to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as we fulfill our obligations under each of our agreements:

a)  identify the contract with a customer;

b)  identify the performance obligations in the contract;

c)  determine the transaction price;

d)  allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and

e)  recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.

Stock-Based Compensation

We record stock-based compensation in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 718 which requires us to recognize expense related to the fair value of our employee stock option awards.  This eliminates accounting for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value and requires instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. We recognize the cost of all share-based awards on a graded vesting basis over the vesting period of the award.

We account for stock-based payments to non-employees in accordance with ASC 505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees”. (“ASC 505-50”) Stock-based payments to non-employees include grants of stock, grants of stock options and issuances of warrants that are recognized in the statement of operations based on the value of the vested portion of the award over the requisite service period as measured at its then-current fair value as of each financial reporting date. The Company calculates the fair value of option grants and warrant issuances utilizing the Black-Scholes pricing model. The amount of stock-based compensation recognized during a period is based on the value of the portion of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time stock options are granted and warrants are issued to employees and non-employees, and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The term “forfeitures” is distinct from “cancellations” or “expirations” and represents only the unvested portion of the surrendered stock option or warrant.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2018, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risks.

The registrant is a smaller reporting company and is not required to provide this information.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

28

We conducted an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2018. Due to the Company’s limited resources and number of employees, there is limited segregation of duties which leads to the irregular review of various reconciliation and control procedures.  Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of September 30, 2018, our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective due to limited resources and personnel resulting in a lack of segregation of duties.  

Changes in internal controls over financial reporting  

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15 (f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

On June 4, 2018, the “Company received service of a complaint in a lawsuit captioned Michael Kelly and iOT Broadband, LLC vs. Jack Scott and Spindle, Inc., No. DC-18-06656 (Dist. Ct. Dallas County, TX). The complaint purports to assert a claim of breach of contract against Spindle, claims of fraud against Jack Scott, the Interim CEO of the Company, and a claim of breach of fiduciary duty against both Dr. Scott and the Company in connection with an Amended and Restated Senior Unsecured Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) owned by Mr. Kelly who purports to have assigned his interest and rights in the note to iOT.

The Company believes that it will successfully defend against the actions described above, and it intends to pursue counterclaims against the plaintiffs which may, if successful, result in an award of damages in favor of the Company. However, the Company does anticipate that it will incur significant additional legal expenses as it pursues a vigorous defense against each of these actions.  The parties to the lawsuit are currently in the discovery process.   While the Company believes that it will successfully defend against these actions, no assurances can be given as to: (i) the outcome of these or legal proceedings and (ii) the related impact of an unanticipated adverse outcome of these proceedings on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or near-term liquidity.

There are no other material pending legal proceedings to which the Company or any director, officer or affiliate of the registrant, any owner of record or beneficially of more than five percent of any class of voting securities of the Company, or any associate of any such director, officer, affiliate of the registrant, or security holder is a party or any of its subsidiaries is a party or of which any of their property is the subject.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

During the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company:

·

Issued 3,032,329 shares of common stock valued at $91,416 as a $50,000 repayment of debt at the exercise of the conversion feature of a note payable, resulting in a loss of $3,873 on the transaction.  

·

Issued 157,880 shares of common stock valued at $15,788 as repayment of debt to third parties, resulting in a gain on the transaction of $12,630.  

·

Issued 60,000 shares of common stock valued at $2,796 as payment to Company directors and advisors for their services.  

·

Authorized the issuance of 56,000 shares of common stock to Company directors and advisors for their services.  The estimated fair value of these shares totaled $1,496. At September 30, 2018, 20,000 of these shares were unissued.

We also recorded a beneficial conversion feature on convertible debt of $3,572 to additional paid-in capital.

The Company relied on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 for issuing the above securities, as the offers and sales were made solely to accredited investors and there was no form of general solicitation or general advertising relating to the offer.

We have never declared cash dividends, nor do we intend to declare cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We plan to retain our cash to finance the continuing development of the business. Future cash dividends, if any, will depend upon financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, compliance with certain restrictive debt covenants, as well as other factors considered relevant by our Board of Directors.

Basis of Presentation

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The interim condensed financial statements included herein, presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein.  It is suggested that these interim condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2017 and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.  The Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers cash and cash equivalents to include all stable, highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue recognition

We have analyzed our revenue transactions pursuant to ASU 2014-09, Revenue, and there was no material impact due to the transition from ASC 605 to ASU 2014-09. Our revenues are recognized when control of the promised services is transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those services. In discussion with management, we apply the following five steps to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as we fulfill our obligations under each of our agreements:

a)            identify the contract with a customer;

b)            identify the performance obligations in the contract;

c)             determine the transaction price;

d)            allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and

e)             recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.

Accounts receivable, net

Accounts receivable is reported at the customers’ outstanding balances, less any allowance for doubtful accounts.  An allowance for doubtful accounts on accounts receivable is charged to operations in amounts sufficient to maintain the allowance for uncollectible accounts at a level management believes is adequate to cover any probable losses. Management determines the adequacy of the allowance based on historical write-off percentages and information collected from individual customers.  Accounts receivable are charged off against the allowance when collectability is determined to be permanently impaired.  Interest is not accrued on overdue accounts receivable.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Major renewals and improvements are charged to the asset accounts while replacements, maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are expensed. At the time property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the asset and related accumulated depreciation accounts are relieved of the applicable amounts. Gains or losses from retirements or sales are credited or charged to income.

Depreciation is computed on the straight-line and accelerated methods for financial reporting purposes based upon the following estimated useful lives:

Computer software	10 years
Computer hardware	5 years
Office furniture	7 years

Long-lived assets

The Company accounts for its long-lived assets in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360-10-05, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” ASC Topic 360-10-05 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses recoverability of the carrying value of an asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition.  If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value or disposable value.

Beneficial Conversion Feature

If the conversion features of conventional convertible debt provide for a rate of conversion that is below market value, this feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). We record a BCF as a debt discount pursuant to ASC Topic 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options.” In those circumstances, the convertible debt is recorded net of the discount related to the BCF and we amortize the discount to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.

Debt Discount

The Company determines if a convertible debenture should be accounted for as liability or equity under ASC 480, Liabilities - Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”). ASC 480 applies to certain contracts involving a company’s own equity and requires that issuers classify the following freestanding financial instruments as liabilities. Mandatorily redeemable financial instruments, obligations that require or may require repurchase of the issuer’s equity shares by transferring assets (e.g., written put options and forward purchase contracts), and certain obligations where at inception the monetary value of the obligation is based solely or predominantly on:

-       A fixed monetary amount known at inception, for example, a payable settleable with a variable number of the issuer’s equity shares with an issuance date fair value equal to a fixed dollar amount,

-       Variations in something other than the fair value of the issuer’s equity shares, for example, a financial instrument indexed to the S&P 500 and settleable with a variable number of the issuer’s equity shares, or

-       Variations inversely related to changes in the fair value of the issuer’s equity shares, for example, a written put that could be net share settled.

If the entity determined the instrument meets the guidance under ASC 480 the instrument is accounted for as a liability with a respective debt discount. The Company records debt discounts in connection with raising funds through the issuance of promissory notes (see Notes 9, 10 and 11). These costs are amortized to non-cash interest expense over the life of the debt. If a conversion of the underlying debt occurs, a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed.

Valuation of Derivative Instruments

ASC 815-40 requires that embedded derivative instruments be bifurcated and assessed, along with free-standing derivative instruments such as warrants, on their issuance date and in accordance with ASC 815-40-15 to determine whether they should be considered a derivative liability and measured at their fair value for accounting purposes. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the Binomial option pricing formula and present value pricing. At September 30, 2018, we adjusted our derivative liabilities to their fair value, and reflected the changes in fair value in our condensed statements of operations. 

Stock-based compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based payments to employees in accordance with ASC 718, “Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Stock-based payments to employees include grants of stock, grants of stock options and issuance of warrants that are recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values at the date of grant.

We account for stock-based payments to non-employees in accordance with ASC 505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees” (“ASC 505-50”). Stock-based payments to non-employees include grants of stock, grants of stock options and issuances of warrants that are recognized in the statement of operations based on the value of the vested portion of the award over the requisite service period as measured at its then-current fair value as of each financial reporting date. The Company calculates the fair value of option grants and warrant issuances utilizing the Black-Scholes pricing model. The amount of stock-based compensation recognized during a period is based on the value of the portion of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time stock options are granted and warrants are issued to employees and non-employees, and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.  The term “forfeitures” is distinct from “cancellations” or “expirations” and represents only the unvested portion of the surrendered stock option or warrant.

We estimate forfeiture rates for all unvested awards when calculating the expense for the period. In estimating the forfeiture rate, the Company monitors both stock option and warrant exercises as well as employee termination patterns. The resulting stock-based compensation expense for both employee and non-employee awards is generally recognized as compensation under ASC Topic 505-50. In accordance with ASC 505-50, the cost of stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the vesting period. The value of the stock-based award is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, whereby compensation cost is the excess of the fair value of the award as determined by the pricing model at the grant date or other measurement date over the amount that must be paid to acquire the stock.

Loss per share

We report earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260-10, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares available. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is the same as loss per share since the effect of the assumed conversion of warrants and debt to purchase common shares would have an anti-dilutive effect. Potential common shares as of September 30, 2018 that have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share amounted to 2,814,439 shares comprised of 1,292,500 options and 1,521,939 warrants. At September 30, 2018, 762,500 of the 1,292,500 potential common shares that could be issued upon the exercise of the options had vested, and all 1,521,939 common shares that could be issued upon the exercise of the warrants had vested.

Income taxes

We account for income taxes under the provisions of “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”).  The method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740 is an asset and liability method. The asset and liability method requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between tax bases and financial reporting bases of other assets and liabilities. The Company did not recognize any deferred tax liabilities or assets at December 31, 2017 or during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 or September 30, 2017.

Fair value of financial instruments

We account for non-recurring fair value measurements of our non-financial assets and liabilities in accordance with ASC 820-10 Fair Value Measurement. This guidance defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and addresses required disclosures about fair value measurements. This standard establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the significant inputs used to determine fair value. Observable inputs are those which are obtained from market participants external to the Company while unobservable inputs are generally developed internally, utilizing management’s estimates, assumptions and specific knowledge of the assets/liabilities and related markets. The three levels are defined as follows:

·      Level 1 - Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

·      Level 2 - Valuation is determined from quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, or by model-based techniques in which all significant inputs are observable in the market.

·      Level 3 - Valuation is derived from model-based techniques in which at least one significant input is unobservable and based on the company’s own estimates about the assumptions that market participants would use to value the asset or liability.

If the only observable inputs are from inactive markets or for transactions which the Company evaluates as “distressed”, the use of Level 1 inputs should be modified by the Company to properly address these factors, or the reliance of such inputs may be limited, with a greater weight attributed to Level 3 inputs.

Due to the short-term nature of our financial assets and liabilities, we consider their carrying amounts to approximate fair value.

Recent accounting pronouncements

The Company continually assesses any new accounting pronouncements to determine their applicability to the Company. Where it is determined that a new accounting pronouncement affects our financial reporting, we undertake a study to determine the consequence of the change to its financial statements and assures that there are proper controls in place to ascertain that our financials properly reflect the change.

In June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2018-07 Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments granted to nonemployees for goods and services. Under the ASU, most of the guidance on such payments to nonemployees would be aligned with the requirements for share-based payments granted to employees. The amendments in ASU 2018-07 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods therein. We are evaluating the impact adopting this guidance will have on our financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-04 Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”). This guidance removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. Under the amended guidance, a goodwill impairment charge will now be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. This guidance is effective for interim and annual period beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for any impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017.  We are evaluating the impact adopting this guidance will have on our financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-01 Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business (“ASU 2017-01”), which clarifies the definition of a business and assists entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. Under this guidance, when substantially all the fair value of gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single asset (or group of similar assets), the assets acquired would not represent a business. In addition, to be considered a business, an acquisition would have to include at a minimum an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create an output. The amended guidance also narrows the definition of outputs by more closely aligning it with how outputs are described in FASB guidance for revenue recognition. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the impact adopting this guidance will have on our financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ("ASU 2016-02"), which amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases with lease terms of greater than twelve months on their balance sheets. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for us beginning January 1, 2019. ASU 2016-02 requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. We are evaluating the impact adopting this guidance will have on our financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 requires entities to recognize revenue that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. We adopted ASU 2014-09 on January 1, 2018 using a modified retrospective method.  As of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 the adoption of ASU 2014-09 did not have a material impact on our balance sheet, operations, stockholders' deficit or our statement of cash flows. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.

Going Concern

NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN

The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern.  As shown in the accompanying condensed financial statements, we incurred a net loss of $1,056,766 and $2,401,739 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and at September 30, 2018, the accumulated deficit was $33,734,753.

To continue as a going concern, the Company may need, among other things, additional capital resources. There are no assurances that without generating new revenue during the remainder of 2018 that we will be successful without additional financing. Should revenues not grow sufficiently, and should we be unable to secure additional financing through the sale of our securities or debt, it would be unlikely for us to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of the financial statements.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. These condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might arise from this uncertainty.

Residual Contracts Disclosure

NOTE 7 - RESIDUAL CONTRACTS

To raise immediate cash, in 2017, we sold our remaining merchant processing portfolio to a larger merchant processor (the “Purchaser”) at industry standard multiples. We were paid a percentage of the net revenues generated by each merchant. As with any type of portfolio, there is attrition, which can come from (1) the merchant processing fewer dollars in sales, or (2) the merchant closing its business (i.e. going out of business), or (3) the merchant taking its processing business to another ISO/processor. The sales agreement with the Purchaser allows zero attrition.

From July 2017 to January 2018, the average monthly residual was less than half of the valuation of the original guaranteed portfolio monthly residual. Any uncured shortfall of the guaranteed residual may be requested by the Purchaser. The Agreement also stipulated that we board a minimum number of Merchant Accounts per year for two years with the Purchaser. The Purchaser may demand that we pay them a specific amount for the number of unacquired Merchant Accounts below the Minimum Requirement per month. From July 1, 2017 to November 1, 2018 (17 months) Spindle has not boarded any merchants on the Purchaser’s platform, and it is likely that we may not board a merchant in the remaining 7 months. As of December 31, 2017, Management recorded a contingent liability of $171,312 as a potential return for consideration received and $126,000 for not boarding merchants, totaling $297,312.

The transaction closed on May 30, 2017. The purchase price was 300,000 shares of Spindle unregistered common stock valued at $43,500 along with launch and revenue-based payments as certain performance targets were met, and the software was to be amortized over three years. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded amortization expense of $9,793 and $23,340, respectively.

In the Fourth Quarter of 2017, after review of the marketplace and competitor products, and the cost of necessary software development, management did not deem the CoverCake transaction to be economically viable and the CoverCake software and related amortization was fully impaired.

On September 11, 2018, we entered into a Bridge Note Agreement totaling $7,500 with one of our investors. This Bridge Note is interest free, secured by the Company’s assets, convertible to shares of the Company’s restricted stock at $0.03 per share and has a maturity date of February 16, 2019.  There was no discount attributable to this note.

On August 16, 2018, we entered into two Bridge Note Agreements totaling $25,000 with two of our investors. These Bridge Notes are interest free, secured by the Company’s assets, convertible to shares of the Company’s restricted stock at $0.035 per share and have maturity dates of February 16, 2019.  The total discount attributable to these notes was $3,572. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, interest expense related to the beneficial conversion features totaled $815.

On May 3, 2018, we entered into two Bridge Note Agreements totaling $22,500 with one of our investors. The two Bridge Notes are interest free, secured by the Company’s assets, convertible to shares of the Company’s restricted stock at $0.05 per share and had original maturity dates of November 3, 2018.  The holder of the Notes has waived the maturity dates to January 31, 2019.  The total discount attributable to these notes was $13,500. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, interest expense related to the beneficial conversion features totaled $6,750 and $11,005, respectively.

On April 13, 2018, we signed a convertible promissory note (the “Convertible Note”) with Labrys Fund, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Holder”). The principal amount of the Convertible Note is $200,000 and matures on April 13, 2019. The Convertible Note carries an original issue discount of $20,000 and accrues interest at the rate of 10% per annum. The Convertible Note may be prepaid by the Company with various redemption premiums applicable depending on when the Company prepays the principal balance. The Convertible Note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of 35% discount to the lowest trading price during the previous twenty trading days to the date of a notice of conversion. The Convertible Note is convertible, at the Holder’s election, only after 180 days after issuance. The debt discount and derivative liability recorded at issuance were $200,000 and $448,165, respectively. The Convertible Note discount is amortized to interest expense over the term of the note and at September 30, 2018 had an unamortized balance of $106,849. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, interest expense of $5,041 and $9,315 was recorded, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, interest expense related to amortization of the discount on the unpaid note of $50,411 and $93,151 was recorded, respectively.

On January 30, 2018, we signed a convertible promissory note (“Convertible Note”) with a third party (“Holder”). The Convertible Note is subordinate to the convertible note owed to Michael Kelly which the Company filed with its Current Report on Form 8-K on February 1, 2018 and amended on February 6, 2018. The principal amount of the Convertible Note is $152,000 and matures on January 30, 2019. The Convertible Note bears an annual interest rate of 10% per annum.  Upon an event of default, the interest rate shall increase to 18% for as long as the event of default is continuing (“Default Interest”). The Convertible Note may be converted, at the Holder’s discretion, into the Company’s common stock at any time after 180 days at a 35% discount to the lowest trading price during the previous 20 trading days to the date of a conversion notice. Until the 90th day after the Issuance Date, the Company may pay the principal at a cash redemption premium of 120%, in addition to outstanding interest, without the Holder’s consent; from the 91st day to the 120th day after the Issuance Date, the Company may pay the principal at a cash redemption premium of 125%, in addition to outstanding interest, without the Holder’s consent; from the 121st day to the Prepayment Date, the Company may pay the principal at a cash redemption premium of 130%, in addition to outstanding interest, without the Holder’s consent. After the 180th up to the Maturity Date this Note shall have a cash redemption premium of 135% of the then outstanding principal amount of the Note, plus accrued interest and Default Interest, if any, which may only be paid by the Company upon Holder’s prior written consent. At any time on or after the Maturity Date, the Company may repay the then outstanding principal plus accrued interest and Default Interest, if any, to the Holder and may be converted to stock under certain circumstances. The total value of the Convertible Note balance, if converted to stock at September 30, 2018, would be $254,224. The debt discount and derivative liability recorded at issuance were $152,000 and $174,234, respectively. The Convertible Note discount is amortized to interest expense over the term of the note and at September 30, 2018 has an unamortized balance of $38,274. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, interest expense of $3,322 and $9,610, and interest expense related to amortization of the discount on the unpaid note of $51,261 and $113,726 were recorded, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the holder of the note converted $50,000 of debt to 3,032,329 shares of the Company’s common stock.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we entered into two Bridge Note Agreements totaling $37,500 with one of our investors. These Bridge Notes were rolled into a new Bridge Note (the “New Note”) with a total of $55,000, maturing September 15, 2018. The New Note was secured by a copy of the Company’s Payment Service Provider (“PSP”) software code, and convertible to shares of the Company’s restricted stock at a price of $0.08 per share. The discounts attributable to the two Bridge Notes rolled into the New Note totaled $8,188 which was expensed as interest at the date of the New Note. There was no discount attributable to the New Note, as the conversion price of $0.08 was the same as the share price on the date the New Note was issued. The New Note was converted into 687,500 shares of Spindle common stock in April 2018.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we entered into three Bridge Note Agreements totaling $46,000 with one of our investors. These three Bridge Notes were paid in full during 2017. The Bridge Notes also included warrants to purchase two shares of the Company’s common stock, at a price of $0.135, for each dollar loaned to Spindle. The total discount attributable to these transactions was $32,716.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, interest expense related to the warrants and the beneficial conversion feature totaled $14,142 and $32,716, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, $15,000 and $46,000 was paid on these Bridge Notes. No warrants related to these three Bridge Notes have been exercised.

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2017, we entered into seven Bridge Note Agreements totaling $145,000 with one of our investors. The seven Bridge Notes were interest free, secured by the Company’s assets, convertible to shares of the Company’s restricted stock at $0.10 and $0.135 per share and had maturity dates ranging from June 30, 2017 to June 29, 2018. The holder has waived the maturity dates for all of the Notes to January 31, 2019.  Three of the seven Bridge Notes included warrants to purchase two shares of the Company’s common stock, at an exercise price of $0.135 or $0.20 per share, for each dollar loaned to Spindle. The total discount attributable to the seven transactions was $98,457, which was fully amortized at September 30, 2018. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, interest expense related to the warrants and the amortization of the discount on the unpaid note balances totaled $0 and $16,904, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we repaid $0 and $15,000, respectively, on one of these notes.

In December 2016, we entered into a $5,000 Bridge Note Agreement with one of our investors. The Bridge Note was secured by the Company’s assets, had a maturity date of February 12, 2017 and included warrants to purchase two shares of the Company’s common stock for each dollar loaned to Spindle. The total discount attributable to this transaction was $525, which was expensed to interest during the three months ended March 31, 2017. At September 30, 2018, the $5,000 Bridge Note was paid in full, though none of the warrants related to this Note have been exercised.

On May 18, 2016, we entered into a $182,000 Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) with an investor in the Company. The Note bears an interest rate of 6% per annum and had a maturity date of May 18, 2018. The Holder of the Note waived the maturity date while the Company and the Holder are negotiating new terms for the Note. The total value of the Note, if converted to stock, would be $404,444, therefore a discount in the amount of $182,000 was recorded, which was amortized to interest expense over the original term of the Note. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, interest expense of $2,488 and $7,440 and interest expense related to amortization of the discount on the unpaid notes of $0 and $44,974 was recorded, respectively. The discount was fully amortized at September 30, 2018. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, interest expense of $2,525 and $7,494 and interest expense related to amortization of the discount on the unpaid notes of $21,047 and $62,453 was recorded, respectively. The Company made principal payments of $0 and $2,500 on the Note during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.

On October 17, 2017, we entered into a Convertible Note Agreement with a stockholder of over 5% of the Company. The Note was revised and amended on November 27, 2017, and is for a promissory note up to $359,000, convertible to stock under certain circumstances. At September 30, 2018, the Company had borrowed $219,000 under this agreement. The Note bears an interest rate of 10% per annum and had a maturity date of October 17, 2018. The Note has not been renewed as it is subject to litigation as described in Part II, Item 1. Legal Proceedings in this Form 10-Q.  The total value of the Note balance, if converted to stock at September 30, 2018, would be $498,456.  The discount and derivative liability recorded at issuance were $219,000 and $311,125, respectively.

The Company issued a convertible promissory note in January 2018 and a convertible promissory note to a related party in 2017. The convertible notes require us to record the value of the conversion features as liabilities, at fair value, pursuant to ASC 815, including provisions in the notes that protect the holder from declines in our stock price, which is considered outside the control of the Company. The derivative liabilities are marked-to-market each reporting period and changes in fair value are recorded as a non-operating gain or loss in our statement of operations, until they are completely settled. The fair value of the conversion features is determined each reporting period using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and is affected by changes in inputs to that model including our stock price, expected stock price volatility, interest rates and expected term.

Debt Discount

The Company determines if a convertible debenture should be accounted for as liability or equity under ASC 480, Liabilities - Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”). ASC 480 applies to certain contracts involving a company’s own equity and requires that issuers classify the following freestanding financial instruments as liabilities. Mandatorily redeemable financial instruments, obligations that require or may require repurchase of the issuer’s equity shares by transferring assets (e.g., written put options and forward purchase contracts), and certain obligations where at inception the monetary value of the obligation is based solely or predominantly on:

-       A fixed monetary amount known at inception, for example, a payable settleable with a variable number of the issuer’s equity shares with an issuance date fair value equal to a fixed dollar amount,

-       Variations in something other than the fair value of the issuer’s equity shares, for example, a financial instrument indexed to the S&P 500 and settleable with a variable number of the issuer’s equity shares, or

-       Variations inversely related to changes in the fair value of the issuer’s equity shares, for example, a written put that could be net share settled.

If the entity determined the instrument meets the guidance under ASC 480 the instrument is accounted for as a liability with a respective debt discount. The Company records debt discounts in connection with raising funds through the issuance of promissory notes (see Notes 9, 10 and 11). These costs are amortized to non-cash interest expense over the life of the debt. If a conversion of the underlying debt occurs, a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed.

Stock-based payments to non-employees include grants of stock, grants of stock options and issuances of warrants that are recognized in the statement of operations based on the value of the vested portion of the award over the requisite service period as measured at its then-current fair value as of each financial reporting date. The Company calculates the fair value of option grants and warrant issuances utilizing the Black-Scholes pricing model. The amount of stock-based compensation recognized during a period is based on the value of the portion of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time stock options are granted and warrants are issued to employees and non-employees, and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.  The term “forfeitures” is distinct from “cancellations” or “expirations” and represents only the unvested portion of the surrendered stock option or warrant.

We estimate forfeiture rates for all unvested awards when calculating the expense for the period. In estimating the forfeiture rate, the Company monitors both stock option and warrant exercises as well as employee termination patterns. The resulting stock-based compensation expense for both employee and non-employee awards is generally recognized as compensation under ASC Topic 505-50. In accordance with ASC 505-50, the cost of stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the vesting period. The value of the stock-based award is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, whereby compensation cost is the excess of the fair value of the award as determined by the pricing model at the grant date or other measurement date over the amount that must be paid to acquire the stock.

Loss Per Share Policy

Loss per share

We report earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260-10, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares available. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is the same as loss per share since the effect of the assumed conversion of warrants and debt to purchase common shares would have an anti-dilutive effect. Potential common shares as of September 30, 2018 that have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share amounted to 2,814,439 shares comprised of 1,292,500 options and 1,521,939 warrants. At September 30, 2018, 762,500 of the 1,292,500 potential common shares that could be issued upon the exercise of the options had vested, and all 1,521,939 common shares that could be issued upon the exercise of the warrants had vested.

Income Taxes Policy

Income taxes

We account for income taxes under the provisions of “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”).  The method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740 is an asset and liability method. The asset and liability method requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between tax bases and financial reporting bases of other assets and liabilities. The Company did not recognize any deferred tax liabilities or assets at December 31, 2017 or during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 or September 30, 2017.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Policy

Fair value of financial instruments

We account for non-recurring fair value measurements of our non-financial assets and liabilities in accordance with ASC 820-10 Fair Value Measurement. This guidance defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and addresses required disclosures about fair value measurements. This standard establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the significant inputs used to determine fair value. Observable inputs are those which are obtained from market participants external to the Company while unobservable inputs are generally developed internally, utilizing management’s estimates, assumptions and specific knowledge of the assets/liabilities and related markets. The three levels are defined as follows:

·      Level 1 - Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

·      Level 2 - Valuation is determined from quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, or by model-based techniques in which all significant inputs are observable in the market.

·      Level 3 - Valuation is derived from model-based techniques in which at least one significant input is unobservable and based on the company’s own estimates about the assumptions that market participants would use to value the asset or liability.

If the only observable inputs are from inactive markets or for transactions which the Company evaluates as “distressed”, the use of Level 1 inputs should be modified by the Company to properly address these factors, or the reliance of such inputs may be limited, with a greater weight attributed to Level 3 inputs.

Due to the short-term nature of our financial assets and liabilities, we consider their carrying amounts to approximate fair value.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent accounting pronouncements

The Company continually assesses any new accounting pronouncements to determine their applicability to the Company. Where it is determined that a new accounting pronouncement affects our financial reporting, we undertake a study to determine the consequence of the change to its financial statements and assures that there are proper controls in place to ascertain that our financials properly reflect the change.

In June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2018-07 Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments granted to nonemployees for goods and services. Under the ASU, most of the guidance on such payments to nonemployees would be aligned with the requirements for share-based payments granted to employees. The amendments in ASU 2018-07 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods therein. We are evaluating the impact adopting this guidance will have on our financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-04 Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”). This guidance removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. Under the amended guidance, a goodwill impairment charge will now be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. This guidance is effective for interim and annual period beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for any impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017.  We are evaluating the impact adopting this guidance will have on our financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-01 Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business (“ASU 2017-01”), which clarifies the definition of a business and assists entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. Under this guidance, when substantially all the fair value of gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single asset (or group of similar assets), the assets acquired would not represent a business. In addition, to be considered a business, an acquisition would have to include at a minimum an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create an output. The amended guidance also narrows the definition of outputs by more closely aligning it with how outputs are described in FASB guidance for revenue recognition. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the impact adopting this guidance will have on our financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ("ASU 2016-02"), which amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases with lease terms of greater than twelve months on their balance sheets. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for us beginning January 1, 2019. ASU 2016-02 requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. We are evaluating the impact adopting this guidance will have on our financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 requires entities to recognize revenue that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. We adopted ASU 2014-09 on January 1, 2018 using a modified retrospective method.  As of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 the adoption of ASU 2014-09 did not have a material impact on our balance sheet, operations, stockholders' deficit or our statement of cash flows. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.
